1500 to 2000 should get you up and running. a wet vac is just a large vaccumm cleaner that can suck up mud and water, useful for jobs with poor or no drainage cos you will be using about 4 gallons every minute. got my gear from a company called tech clean. give them a ring and ask for Jan. she will give you all the info yhou need about prices and what you need to set up
